By J. Nelson (Minneapolis, MN)
Absolutely love the tools!! The shipping problems also appear to be fixed, mine was shipped placed inside of a stronger exterior box with everything intact. I would also agree with previous reviews that I'm not too keen on the duffel bag, it has pockets for two drills, the recip saw, and the charger, most everything else just lays loose in the bag. I did find that if I packed the radio in the bag as well things fit snugly and didn't get banged around too much. A solid case would have been nice but on the other hand most likely would have been extremely large. Quick review of tools -
Drill - better than awesome
Driver - Even better than the drill, already survived a drop off the ladder unscathed
Recip saw - Very strong, yet soft to operate
Angle Grinder - Like it but rpm seems slow, doesn't back down though and it has a cool overload indicator
light
Circular saw - Great for a battery powered saw
Flashlight - Bright, but would have liked to see LED and also a flexible goose neck design
Charger - maybe time to update to a more modern looking design but works well
Radio - Compact design is very nice, much smaller than other job site radios and it isn't an odd shape so it packs well. Looks very sturdy. Would be cooler if it could charge a battery.

The tools have a lot of power and are extremely light. Are made very tough. The sawzall cuts straight. Trim saw is easy to use, cut through a yellow pine header no problem. Love the impact driver but need higher quality bits.Cordless hammer drill is great.Shot down some anchors in crete no problem, fast. Job site radio is okay would be nice if it was a charger to. Grinder works well and the light is nice.Best thing is you get to pick another tool and battery free. I picked another sawzall as we are always tearing them up. Great set I bought two extra batteries.

Fantastic strong tools with long battery life. Very well engineered. Would have given it 5-stars except the carrying bag is a little weird and the packaging had problems. The tool set was shipped in the factory carton which was designed to be placed on the retail store shelf. When I got the shipment, accessory parts had already and were still falling out of the box. Some parts like the cut-off wheel were broken as well. Amazon gave me what I thought to be a very reasonable discount for the problems. To avoid this in the future either Makita or Amazon needs to provide a real shipping package for what otherwise is a great set of tools.
"Excellent set of tools" 2010-01-17
By O. McGraw (New Orleans, LA)
I am a marine contractor who does installation and repair on all types of yachts and I purchased this set a little over six months ago and use it on a daily basis. I couldn't be more satisfied with it. The drill and impact driver are of excellent quality and they are small and light. I have no problem getting them in to tight spaces and using them for hours on end. The battery life when using these two tools is excellent and I have to only charge the batteries once or twice a week.
The other tools are not so great on battery life and not as powerful. If you are a professional carpenter who spends a lot of time with a circular saw, I'm sure you wouldn't buy this set with the intention of the battery saw replacing your mainstay. On the other hand, I love not having to go look for an extension cord when I need to make a quick cut. The grinder is also terrible on battery life and nowhere near as powerful as a decent corded grinder. Again, I love having it for quick cuts, and every once in a while, for some quick sanding. It cannot run more than 15 minutes constantly on a fully charged battery. The reciprocating saw seems to be best on battery life, but that may be just because it is really not the kind of tool that I use for more than a few minutes at a time.
Now, in terms of a comparison with other tool companies, I would have to say that the Dewalt stuff really feels stronger. It is all much heavier. The makita impact has a few little plastic things on it, like a glow in the dark ring around the business end of it, that are poorly put on and kind of trashy. My impression is that dewalt doesn't pull stuff like that. On the other hand, I am happy with how much smaller and lighter the makita stuff, especially for the huge amount of power that the drill and impact driver have.
As well, makita offers the widest variety of bare tools that run with the same batteries. Granted, I haven't bothered to purchase any of them yet, but I like to keep my options open!
"Very pleased....researched a lot!" 2009-11-24
By K. McVey (Kansas)
Bought this set in October and am very pleased with it. We debated about buying the set without the radio, but decided to go with this one because we always kept saying we needed a weather radio and thought this could work for that. Well, we are very impressed with the radio and my husband takes it with him everywhere and the sound and clarity is phenomenal. We even hooked up our iTouch to it. I didn't mean to go on about the radio, but it was such a pleasant surprise. As far as the tools go, A+, the impact drill is so light and my husband(works construction) is the envy of the guys at work and everyone wants one. I bought that drill for him last year and he used that for EVERYTHING. We also had been remodeling our house and it worked great, especially with the rapid charger. He sold that drill so that he could go ahead and get this bigger set. He has been really impressed with this Makita set. I researched A lOT on these, this is the one you want! The impact drill in this set has the most torque/in. and more power than the platinum Makita drills. I know he has used the other tools too and he has had no complaints. The only thing I know he doesn't like is the bag. He likes the hard case better, but you can buy those fairly cheap online too. The bag is nice in the fact that it's like a duffle with the pull out handle and wheels, you could use it for a piece of luggage. But not real practical for a construction site though. He keeps it in his truck and takes out what he needs. Plus, the price on Amazon is very reasonable. I looked on ebay as well, you might, maybe, find one cheaper for the same set, but Amazon is very competitive with the ebay prices, plus you get free shipping and a guarantee.
